"Julia" seems pretty forward thinking. It seems to have a similar philosophy compared to Cobra:

It is multi-paradigm, combining features of imperative, functional, and object-oriented programming. Julia provides ease and expressiveness for high-level numerical computing, in the same way as languages such as R, MATLAB, and Python, but transcends its general programming limitations. To achieve this, Julia builds upon the lineage of mathematical programming languages, but also borrows much from popular dynamic languages, including Lisp, Perl, Python, Lua, and Ruby.

After a very quick overview it seems to run faster then Cobra, but syntax seems to be worst then Cobra's syntax, even though that is a bit of a subjective opinion.Nevertheless I though it was an interesting upcoming language.
